TIE GREAT COPPER CAMP.

A recent trade circular shows that the
trade in silver certificates is not as brisk as
had been anticipated by the Manning
Jordan clique, the Indications pointing to
the fact that the suckers would not take
the bait that had been prepared for them.
While copper has been dull the demand for
lead has been decidedly active. But a new
deal has been made in copper which may
change the conditions. The combination
between the Montana Company, the Noun.
tain View aud the Tamarack, is full OF
significance, especially for this city. An
alliance offensive and defensive between
all OF the copper mines about this
camp and the Tamarack will
signify that Butte and it's suburbs will con-
troll the copper market of the world, as
against Calumet and Hecla and Chill bars.
The Calumet and Hecla are now on fire
which must greatly retard production
there. The Anaconda is putting in new
machinery which will greatly reduce the
cost of production and is doubling it's plant
which when completed will be the costliest
and best in the world. With the improve
ments now under ways the camp will soon
be in the lead Of all it's competitors, not
withstanding the advantages the Lake
Superior mines furnish in the matter of
cheap transportation of fuel and matte.
This should be a source of
pride to every citizen Of Butte
and of Anaconda, and we are sure it is. In
addition to this. Rutte ia a marveloTs nm.
ducer of silver bullion, hundreds of thous-
apds OF dollars being shipped out OF here
every month. And yet the copper and sil.
yer mines of this camp are but in the
incipient stage OF their development.
Their great future is yet before the city:
When the full ~fruition of our hopes and
expectations shall have been realized the
most s~anguine of us will have been sur
prised.

A Novel Cause.

Eva Simons, who had the misfortune to
get her arm fractured a week ago yesterday
by falling from a bridge on Montana street,
has nov a new trouble, blood poisoning
having set in from the use of the paste
board in which her arm was placed. Ice
was put on the arm to cool the fever, which
kept the board constantly saturated and
thus poison from the hoard vas communi-
Gated to the arm which is badly swollen.
The attending surgeon says this is the first
case of the kind he has ever had in his prac-
tice. Her sufferings are intensely severe.
Her mother has attended her day and
night, Mr.. Simons being absent. He is ex.

about a week ago. While he and his fire.
man were on their engine lying at Placer,
q little girl came running to them saying
that her father was killed. They went
with her and heard that she and her father
q ranchman, were riding along the road in
their wagon, on which was loaded a now
ing machine, when the horses took fright at
an engine whistle and ran away. She was
thrown out uninjured, but her father was
thrown down an embankment and his
head caught in the forked limbs of a low
tree where he was pinned by the moving
machine falling upon him. Mr.. Hite and
his fireman succeeded in extricating him.
when he was found to be badly bruised but
not seriously injured. His preservation
was miraculous. The team and wagon
had gone into the stream below and out
again when they were caught. The ranch.
q and his daughter were able to hitch
and drive home.
